Rex Ryan returning as head coach of the New York Jets more than a decade after getting fired from that same position is reportedly not considered a

The New York Jets interviewed Rex Ryan for their head coaching position, but have reportedly already passed on the former head coach.

ESPN NFL Insider Dan Graziano provided a bizarre update on Jeff Ulbrich and the New York Jets amid the coaching search.

The New York Jets’ next head coach reportedly will not be Rex Ryan. Ryan, 62, has been vocal about wanting a chance to return. He interviewed with the team last week, but it could be one-and-done in terms of those chats.

Rex Ryan says he’s convinced the Jets will hire him as the team’s next coach and vows to end Aaron Rodgers’ ‘country club’ if the QB returns.

Former New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan offered his reaction to the New England Patriots' decision to hire Mike Vrabel to replace Jerod Mayo.

On Oct. 8, after Jets owner Woody Johnson fired Robert Saleh following a 2-3 start, Ulbrich, who was the defensive coordinator, became the team’s interim coach. Johnson hoped Ulbrich would ignite a spark and lead Gang Green to the playoffs. However, Saleh’s firing had the opposite effect.

The Jets formally interviewed Ulbrich for their opening. Ulbrich was thrown into the role of interim head coach on Oct. 8 after Robert Saleh was fired. The Jets went 3-9 under Ulbrich and finished 5-12 overall. Ulbrich is very popular among the players and in the Jets’ building, but he is considered a long shot to keep the job.

The New York Jets interviewed interim coach Jeff Ulbrich on Monday for their ... Mike Vrabel, Ron Rivera, Rex Ryan, Matt Nagy and Aaron Glenn for the position. The Jets are also conducting ...

Nothing was agreed upon or finalized by Tuesday evening, but the pair are believed to be the Jets' choices to lead the team going forward.

With Johnson heading to Chicago and Mike Vrabel already in New England, five head coaching vacancies remain. The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported. The Jets, Saints, Jaguars, Raiders and Cowboys are still in the hunt.

For some of those teams, that will involve finding new head coaches and/or General Managers. Three teams fired their head coaches during the season and two more have been dispatched as of 9 a.m. ET on January 6.
